The Shrives
The Shrives (formerly "Matt Grocott & the Shrives") were an English punk rock band formed in Grantham, England, by Matt Grocott.
In 2014 the band toured the UK with SWMRS. SWMRS drummer Joey Armstrong went on to record drums for the band's first album, recorded that same year in Oakland, California, at Jingletown Recording Studios.[1] Green Day's frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong produced the album and played bass in a few songs.[2] After struggling to get the album released, the band finally self-released it in 2017 on CD and through Streaming services.
